Thohouso of Gen. Waltham was en tered by thieves last night anil despoiled of property to tho valuo of $500. Several store tilled with large stocks havo boon burglarized lately. Tho Howard association cannot carry oo tho city government, hence wo may expect similar acts to occur more frequently hereafter. Our city has been provided, liberally by the ympathctic peoplo of the country with lands and supplies of every kind, and we are, indeed, -thankful. Whon our relief committee ran away they deposited about $5,000 of Grenada MufleronT money in a Memphis bank. The money cannot bo drawn without their check awl they cannot be found. There is aim de posited here in Lake's bank over 90,000 of the Grenada fund, but because of tho sickneas of tbo cashier tho roonoy cannot be drawn.

He owned a aetter dog, and when tho body of its master was lowered into tho earth tho dog stubbornly re mained at tho grave, and although tempted by food, refused to part from the spot where his master lay. After a few days the dog was die--covered lying dead in the vicinity of the grave. Cincinnati, Sept. 12. H. W. Blitz, of Mem phis, who was taken to the hospital on Sunday, died tat evening.

A frightful colliery explosion occurred to-day at Abercorne, near Newport, Monmouthshire, Tbero were 371 in tho pit, 80 of whom have been rescued. It is feared that no others have survived, as the pit is on firo, London, Sept. 12. Tho full extent of tho terrible diaMvr in a cool mino at Aboreoroo yosterd y is now known. At half.paut two this afternoon flooding of the pit was com menced. At that hour the firo was within a short distance of tho bottom of the shaft, and all hope of further roncoe had to be abandoned. When this decision was announced to tho rela tives of tho 251 men still in the pit, thu scene was terrible and beyond description. Thirteen additional bodies of the viotims were recovered bifure the Hooding of fho pit began. London, Sept. I!. Tbo lews of life by tho colliery diw-ster is unprecedented. There is i o hopo of becuring any more alivo as tho work ings of the mine ore very intricate, and extend over threo miles. So far only about Mvcn corpses have been recoverod. Tho uxplosion occurred soon after uoon. Thaw on the bank kuew it by thu rumbling noino and thu a-yxut of vast volumes of dense smoke. All tho jo pie in that district rushed to the pit mouth iu consternation. Scenes of dUtress aro indescrib able. According to tho latest advices tho pit is still burning, and the managers are dihcuiuing the propriety of Hooding it, as it beems certain all the men aro cither burned to death or suf focated. Flooding will probably bo briefly de layed until tho last hopo is abandoned. Ten more miners badly burned have been rescued. The body of one boy was recovered. The fate of the remainder may be judged from the fact that explorer found fourteen dead bone only few yards from the foot of the shaft. The air in Dm mla is very imfmt9. WILLAMETTE FARMER ' . Aaffi" " Atertoit Cattle. Is it possible, nay, docs it not look probable that, judging from the result of tho Paris ex hibition, tho Short-horn, hitherto regarded as tho royal brood, the unapproachablo breed, may not havo to acknowledge tho eaqual merit at least of tho Angutt, a breed which only yoa terday had tho advantages of a herd-book? From tho cxccllcnco somo of tho animals of tho breed havo attained under tin patronage of that eminent breeder, Mr. M'Comliio, it would seem that time, and tho continuation of tho Mine caro were alono required to givo the world, in considerable numbers, nuiinaU of great quality of tho now ulinoit unknown breed. Wo suggest to tho breeder) of Amcrea, in viow of tho sui-cos attained by tho Angus cat tle at tho great Paris Exhibition, to cousider whether tho v may not be pro'JUbly imported, and bo of advantage to American agriculture. We find fho following in a nport of tho live stock department of tho Inhibition iu the North British Agriculturist! "This is, indeed, a proud week for Tilly four and the polled Annie, or Aberdeen breed of cattle, Mr. M'Cotnhio having lwcn adjudged tho jCIOO prize for beit group of cattle, bred by exhibitor, and reared out ot France; and tho 100 for the best lot of beef-making animals, broil by exhibitor;!, mid reared and ted iu any couutrv: beside over 100 inoidinarv class prize money, and several gold and silver medals. That U no doubt a great honor t'j ScotUuid.a 'cattle king," and gratification to breeders of black Dolled cattlo generally: but it is not all that has to lo recorded to the credit of the 'black-skins,' Mr. M'Combio's success ful group numbered six animals, and other six of the bamo breed, from Ballindalloch, not merely rank second in tho cotitost, but in some respects had prior claims to Mr. M'Combio's. Tho distinguished appoaranco which black cat tlo liavo mado at the exhibition may !o im agined from tho fact that of tho fifteen shown, twolvo were tho beit of all tho foreign broods, and tho remaining threo included tho first and second prize cows; and thu second prizo aged bull. Whilo there is thus a good representa tion of polled cattlo in every class, there is nothing approaching 'a weed,' which can hard ly bo said of any other breed of cattlo. r.vory i:i-.l. ...if... i ...I.--, i ?.i...h r - ..,. i:...l " iliac Amuu nuuuui una uvnub ui dvjuiu iwuu Scientific Fanner. An election 'to Parliament in 1-lngland and IreUud is n very oxnensivo luxury, which ouly men of wealth can atlbrd to indulge iu.

A general eleotion for ruombors of Parliament must put much money in circula tion and mako lively times for the voting popu lation. Tho fact that no man can bo elected on his merits or tho claims of his party, and that no largo an expenditure of money is neces sary, reflects very unfavorably upon the politi cal virtue of British voters, and shows that the voters of the United States aro puro in com parison with their Knglith cousins. In Eng land the party having the most monoy is sure to win, and nonce tho ad van tag o enjoyed by tbo Tbries, whose party embraces thu greater port of the rich, faadholding--amUk.

I I havo been for tho last week, andwould Kko to rcnuin longer, in tho city of BrussolLi. It has been called a minature Paris, and in tho number and magulfioenco of its public edifices, parks, and monuments, as well as in tho breadth, extent, and cleanliness, of its boule vardi it has a strong resemblance- to a smaller edition of tho French capital. Tho bnguago spoken by the higher cl.mcs i. French, but the ttonirn clature of tha stroolii is not much liko t'it of Pari". The hotel nt which 1 ant stop ping is on tun "Rue des Douze Apotren," which in plain English is the street of tho dozen ApostluJ. There Is another street having tho namo of "The street of Good Herbs for Soup." Belgium has not a long Hit of battles and mili tary heroes liko Franco, so uho U compelled to uso commou names for tho streets of her capi tal. In Paris nearly every rue, nvenuo, and lioulovard, suggests a history or assists to per potuato a fame, as tho Avenue Wagram, tho Boulevanl MalesherlMM, the Rue Voltaire. I said tho French language was spoken in Bel gium, but it is a very diUcrcnc rrenco irom that spoken iu Parts. Tho working claarea speak a French patow, but their vernacular seeimsto bo Flemish. Tourists.do not usually re main at RrusHells much longer than may bo necessary to drivo over tho city, mako an ex cursion to iho fiold of Waterloo, and buy somo of tho famous Brussells Lice; but there is muoh hero that will repay a longer and moro careful study, Somo of the most renowned paintings in tho world are on tho walls of tho Brussells galleries, and tho works of tho great masters are only less numerous hero than iu tho gallery of tho Louvre. But it is not my intention to write about tho t-alleries. monuments, and architecture of this city, there is a moro inter esting subject: Dogs I Hero I havo learned tho meaning of tho expression "to work liko a dog." Tho canine species is hero nsed for tho purpose of draft to an extent that I havo never heard of tholr being used oltiowhcro. Thoy aro ussd iu this way to a limited extent in Switzer land, Bnd to a greater extent in Frankfort and Cologno, but in Brussells thoy aro a very im portant factor in tho economy of transportation. It is strango that moro lias not beeu written on tho subject, and that siuco thoy prove so capa ble thoy aro not nsed for light draft in other countries. Tho loads thoy draw aro greater than would bo supposed from tho weight of the animal, greater, I am un iu proportion to tho weight than thoso ilrawn by horses or male but they aro usually employ od only m auxilia ries, ono dog being harnessed under m cart tho shafts of which aro hold and guarded by tho owner. Tho axle of tho cart is arched in the middle in order to enablo tbo animal to stand erect. Harnoiwed with a simple round padded leather oolUr, a pair of traces, and a book band, the aaeistanoo ho gives his master, who does little moro, exoopt on ascending ground, than guide tho cart, is vory great. Usually not moro than ono dog is attached to a cart, but I havo seen as many as three, and tho American consul told mo that he had seen six and eight to one wacron, drawn in from the country, loaded with wood, with tho driver on top. In Brussells there aro many shops for the manufacture and Halo of dog harneM( and is them you may buy a plain set or quo ornament eel with polished brass. There is a dog market held every Sunday in this city, and hero every variety of dog is bought and sold, tho buyers and sellers being usually market and milk women. I was particular to inquire of tho American consul in relation to tho species of dog preferred, but it soouts that thoy have no particular brce-d, ami that no systematic effort iias been inado to improve thu breed. I ob served that tho dogs in most common use were curs, of medium size, aiid of all colors. They mm to 1h very enthusiastic pullers, moving at the speed of a brisk walk for a man, and they never balk; but the moment tho wagon stops, the dog lies down; he is always tired, or has been taught the wisdom of conserving his xtrength. To all appearances tho dogs of Brussells lead but a dog's life, and all of thorn havo drooping tails, and a dejected hang-dog olr; but bow much better it is for them, for their country, and for their posterity, to bo oogagod in hum reapoctable employment, earning aa honest livelihood, than to be killing sheep, gnawing bonne, bayiothe moon, or rushing about the streets with a tin pan to tholr tails, as in the custom of too mauy of our free American dogs. In Paris the white woolly spaniel is Lndispen Hablu to a fine lady's toilet. Tho fair ParUitune, whe ther she bo of the beau mondo or demi monde, must havo her dog, and sho k-ads him by a small chain when sho promenades, or takes him iu her carriage when she drives. She would no wore omit the littlo beast than phe would forget her boots. There aru dog barbers in Pons who earn a livelihood by trimming theo littlo pots; the stylo for dogi this heasou is to leave a girdle of hair around tho body and around each lejj above the knee. ('.

Farmers do not want to kill their hogs, but feed to soil on foot, for profit, and a good, smooth lot of hogs that will weigh 300 to 400 pounds, will sell with any that fall below that average. Tho Cincinnati Enquirer gives the following account of tho killing of Major Andrew Sorog gins, of Charlotte, N. O., by his father-in-law, Rev. Dr. Wado Hill, a Baptist preacher: Major Scroggins, in a passion, stripped and whipped his wifo's sister, tho vonngest daughter of Dr. Hill. As soon as tho fathor heard of the affair, bo wont to his son-in-law and demanded an explanation. Major Scroggins said he had acted on an impulse of tho moment. Dr. Dill replied that he had no right to punish the ohild, From words thoy went to blows, and tho minis tcr had tho be'st of it. Major Scroggins woat home, and after consulting with his friends, sent a challenge to thu minister. This was im mediately declined. Tho son-in-law armed himself to thu teeth, and threatened to kill tho parson at sight; and tho latter also bought a revolver, trao day thoy chanced to moot on horseback in the road near the minister's honsc. "Aha! "cried thu major; "I'vogotyoul Ten minutes to my jour prayers!" "Well, air, I'm ready." responded Dr. Hill. "And so ami," said tho major. "May thu Lord havo mercy ou ns both." Thereupon ho fired twice, neither shot taking effect. Thu doctor then returned tho firo and killed his antagonist jrurtontly.
